“EJG The Weirdo” is exactly what it sounds like — me, a random voice on the internet, saying whatever pops into my head. No scripts. No filters. Just weird thoughts, random rants, and whatever else makes me laugh (or makes no sense at all). If you came here for something deep and meaningful, you might be in the wrong place… but if you came here for weird, you found it.

Coffee is Overrated

I don’t understand coffee culture. At all. If something tastes awful the first ten times, why force yourself to like it—especially when it turns into a daily dependency people can’t function without?

This starts as a rant about coffee (and why hot chocolate wins every time) and turns into a very honest spiral about addiction, habits we never question, why people pretend they know things they don’t, and how half of adulthood is just confidently guessing. I get into spelling, words everyone acts like they understand, conspiracy theories, government corruption, and why questioning things doesn’t make you crazy—it just makes you curious.

It’s unfiltered, self-aware, and all over the place in the best way.


Highlights

  • Why coffee tastes terrible and people pretend otherwise

  • Forcing yourself to like things that become addictions

  • Coffee vs. hot chocolate (this isn’t even close)

  • Why spelling, big words, and English in general are a mess

  • Arrogant vs. ignorant (still unclear)

  • What “conspiracy theorist” actually means

  • Questioning authority without losing your mind

Common Sense Isn’t Anti-Science

In this episode, I talk openly about vaccines, why I think they’re necessary in some cases, and why I’m uncomfortable with how many are given at once, especially to infants.

I’m not a doctor. I’m not pretending to be one.
This is about logic, common sense, and personal experience, not medical advice.

I explain:

  • How vaccines work in simple terms

  • Why I believe timing and quantity matter

  • How the immune system still has limits

  • Why vulnerability during immune response gets ignored

  • A personal experience that made me question the “it’s just a coincidence” explanation

I’m not anti-science. I’m not anti-medicine.
I’m pro asking questions, understanding pros and cons, and not pretending everything is risk-free just because it’s common.

This isn’t meant to convince anyone.
It’s just how I see it — and why.

Criminalizing Speech Is Insanity

In this episode, I go straight at freedom of speech and why the idea of arresting people over words is completely insane.

I talk about why offense is subjective, why you can’t legally police opinions, and why actions — not feelings — are the only thing that should ever be criminal. I use real-life examples from work, hiring, everyday conversations, and preferences that people love to label as “racist” or “sexist” even when they’re not.

I also get into:

  • Why being offended doesn’t make you right

  • The difference between preference and hate

  • Why experience should matter more than race or gender

  • How free speech exists because people disagree

  • Why society keeps pretending progress never happened

This isn’t polished. It’s not safe.
It’s just honest.

If that bothers you — that’s kind of the point.

Free Money Helps No one

I break down why the idea that trillionaires should simply give away their money sounds compassionate, but collapses once you actually run the numbers. I walk through what happens when wealth is redistributed in theory versus in real life, why free money doesn’t solve structural problems, and how quickly incentives and behavior change when effort is removed from the equation.

From there, I get into risk, responsibility, and why success gets treated like something that needs to be punished instead of understood. This isn’t about idolizing billionaires or dismissing people who are struggling—it’s about questioning easy moral answers that ignore economics, human nature, and long-term consequences.


Highlights

Blunt, analytical, and uncomfortable by design.

  • Why “just give it away” fails the moment math enters the room

  • What actually happens when everyone suddenly has free money

  • Risk, reward, and why outcomes aren’t evenly distributed

  • The difference between generosity and obligation

  • Why taxing success doesn’t create fairness—just distortion

Stop Helping

I figured out how to fix Canada in about five minutes. The solution: stop touching everything. Every time the government tries to “help,” it gets more expensive, more complicated, and somehow worse. Housing? Stop interfering. Environment? Stop interfering. Healthcare? Maybe stop going to the ER for colds. The whole episode is basically one long rant that starts with common sense and ends with me wondering how we got so dumb as a country.

From red tape slowing down builders, to modular homes that cost a fortune, to trade deals that go backwards after every international trip—nothing makes sense. I get into why free healthcare is jammed with non-emergencies, why Alberta could thrive on its own, and why ticking off the president of the United States is the dumbest possible strategy for a country that relies on them for everything.

It’s blunt, annoyed, and sprinkled with humor. If you like politics, common sense, or just watching someone slowly lose their mind over bureaucracy, you’ll probably enjoy it.


Highlights

  • “Stop helping” as a national policy

  • Why housing is slow: red tape, not builders

  • ER is not for slivers and head colds

  • Alberta as Dubai 2.0

  • Mark Carney: stupid or corrupt? Pick one

  • Alienating the U.S. = terrible idea

  • Trump, trade, and economic reality

  • Who should run a country: rich, successful problem-solvers

  • Brookfield benefiting from every bill

I'm no Grinch, But...

Christmas is still the best holiday… but some of it is wildly overrated. I talk about why Christmas music should not be played year-round (my own family is guilty), why inflatable decorations are a waste of storage space, and how constant reminders of the holiday just make it harder to enjoy. If the lights are up and the air hurts my face, I already know what month it is — no soundtrack required.

From there it turns into highway etiquette: the wave of thanks when someone lets you merge, the slow walkers who stare as they block traffic, and why a tiny jog across a crosswalk is basic respect.
Then: shoe culture. Designer sneakers, cleaning routines, and why $400 Jordans exist even though most people never play basketball.

This episode ends with a small manifesto: no intros, no “don’t forget to subscribe,” no fake hype. If anything ever gets sponsored, it’ll be because it’s genuinely worth talking about — not because someone paid for enthusiasm.


Highlights

  • Christmas music fatigue and overexposure

  • Blow-ups, storage units, electricity bills

  • The simple courtesy of a wave on the road

  • Jogging across the crosswalk like a decent human

  • Shoe collecting vs. just wearing shoes

  • Podcasts without ads, intros, or begging for follows

Monsters, Money, and Melted Snow

This one starts with caffeine panic and ends in Alberta independence. I talk about drinking three to four Monsters a day, ask ChatGPT if I’m going to die, and apparently land on: “probably not, but don’t make it a lifestyle.” Which means I’m still drinking one at 7:40am because they taste amazing and water is for babies.

From there, the rant detours into Toronto vs. Calgary, my high-school nightmare of everyone wearing Liberal socks when Trudeau won, and how I was scared to admit I was conservative. Now I’m in Calgary, I feel at home, and I honestly think Alberta could be like Dubai if it went independent — low taxes, high prosperity, and nobody freaking out about cow farts.

I say what I think: most people can’t afford groceries, rent, gas, or life insurance. And yet we’re being told to worry about the environment. Meanwhile, my side jobs pay for survival, not luxuries. I rant, I laugh, and I get politically spicy. Liberals probably stopped listening on Episode 1. That’s fine. Life’s hard.

The “Daddy” Dilemma

This episode dives straight into the awkward collision between past dating life and dad life. I talk about why certain… names… used to be great, why having a kid changes everything, and how one innocent word can suddenly ruin the mood forever. From there, it spirals into nicknames gone wrong, Spanish honorifics I want no part of, and the two very specific situations where lying in a relationship is not only acceptable — it’s encouraged.

I get into honesty, ego, Christmas gifts, performance illusions, and why every guy quietly hopes his wife fakes enthusiasm sometimes. It’s blunt, self-roasting, and full of ridiculous honesty about how men and women talk, don’t talk, and pretend everything’s fine.


Highlights

  • Why “daddy” hits different once you actually become one

  • The Latina nickname situation that crossed a weird line

  • The two lies every man is 100% okay with

  • The truth about male confidence (spoiler: women built it)

  • Why kindness sometimes is lying

  • Childhood lessons, adult cluelessness, and Monster energy drinks

Burning Stuff & Burning Lies

This one goes all over the map in the best way possible — childhood pyromania, frog-torturing guilt, the White House being “Canada’s fault,” and how easy it used to be to believe whatever the newspaper said. From backyard fire bins to grown-up fact-checking, this episode jumps between nostalgia, confession, and a little healthy paranoia about what’s real anymore.

I get into why unlimited information is both a blessing and a curse, how history books might age terribly, and why ChatGPT is basically my brutally honest co-pilot for everything I do. Then it turns political: media bias, Trudeau vs. Carney vs. Pierre, what counts as a real leader, and why public patience matters more than people admit.

It’s chaotic, blunt, sarcastic, and somehow still philosophical — a full wander through childhood stupidity, adult skepticism, and modern politics.


Highlights

  • Childhood pyromania and the “burning evidence” phase

  • Frog guilt and questionable country-kid behaviour

  • The White House fire (and my questionable history knowledge)

  • Fact-checking in 2025 vs. blind trust in the past

  • Why everything online feels true and fake at the same time

  • How I actually use ChatGPT to keep me in check

  • Political patience: why some leaders get away with anything

  • Media double standards and modern voter frustration

Castle Law & Common Sense

This episode dives into something huge: the shift in Alberta’s self-defense laws and why it matters more than most people realize. I get into the insanity of homeowners being arrested for defending themselves, the double standards in politics, and why this new protection actually restores a basic human right — the right to keep your family safe.

It’s blunt, intense, and unapologetically honest. If you’ve ever wondered why defending your own home became controversial, this breaks it down in the simplest, realest way possible.


Highlights

  • Why self-defense laws in Canada were backwards for so long

  • Homeowners being arrested after fending off violent intruders

  • The hypocrisy between what politicians say and what they’d do if it happened to them

  • A breakdown of why government “gun grabs” don’t actually stop crime

  • The real weight of being a husband and father when it comes to protection

  • The difference between “extremism” and basic survival instincts

I Love "Global Warming"

The first real Calgary snowfall hits, and this episode is one big rant about why anyone chooses to live like this on purpose. From freezing mornings to useless pea gravel, icy sidewalks, winter beaters, and the universal suffering of brushing off your car at 6 AM, this is a full breakdown of why winter life makes zero sense.

And yes — it goes into global warming, but from the brutally honest angle nobody says out loud. If warmer weather means no more snow, then what exactly is the problem? It’s sarcastic, unfiltered, and painfully relatable for anyone who’s ever lived through a Canadian winter and questioned their life choices.


Highlights

  • The first real Calgary snowfall and the instant regret

  • Why pea gravel sucks and Ontario actually has one thing figured out

  • Winter beaters, icy wipeouts, and the misery of scraping windshields

  • The “if I had U.S. citizenship I’d be in Texas” moment

  • A comedic, slightly chaotic take on global warming

  • Why people who love snow might just have better cars than everyone else

Stop Saying "I'm Not Mad"

This episode dives into one of the most universal relationship headaches of all time: when someone is clearly mad, obviously mad, undeniably mad… and still says, “I’m not mad.” From emotional landmines to week-long silent storms, this rant breaks down why pretending everything’s fine never helps and how honesty could save everyone days of tiptoeing.

You’ll hear stories about growing up in a brutally honest family, the infamous puddle-driving incident, and why taking people’s words literally might be the ultimate power move. It’s blunt, funny, and painfully relatable.


Highlights

  • The “I’m not mad” lie and why everyone hates it

  • How honesty fixes problems in 5 minutes — but hiding them drags it out for a week

  • Growing up with a family that never sugarcoated anything

  • The puddle-driving story and the chaos that followed

  • Why taking people’s words literally might actually solve arguments

  • Being called out when you accidentally act the same way you complain about

Who Cares? Apparently Not the Prime Minister

Another day, another political update that makes zero sense. This episode breaks down the wild double standards in Canadian politics — especially how the media bends over backwards to protect Carney while tearing Pierre apart for things Carney says himself. From the now-infamous “who cares?” comment about Trump, to the endless globe-trotting, to the carbon-tax hypocrisy, this rant goes deep into why Canadians are fed up and finally starting to call out the nonsense.

It’s blunt, irritated, and full of the questions everyone’s thinking but nobody in power wants to answer.


Highlights

  • The prime minister saying “who cares?” about the one issue he used to win the election

  • How CBC defends everything Carney does — even when it’s indefensible

  • Why Pierre gets attacked for things the Liberals do daily

  • Double standards in political speech and media framing

  • The jet-setting hypocrisy vs. carbon-tax preaching

  • How much carbon has actually been burned from his trips

  • Why Canadians are finally stepping up and saying “enough”

The Cost of Power

I dive into the strange world of people who want authority but have zero clue what comes with it. From young apprentices who think they’re journeymen, to inspectors who suddenly love the taste of power, to actors complaining while cashing million-dollar cheques — this episode is about responsibility, ego, work ethic, and reality checks.

I talk about what real responsibility actually looks like, why some people chase status without understanding the consequences, and why I’m not rushing into leadership until I’m actually ready. Then I get into fame, acting, singing, and what I’d really do if I ever made “one big million-dollar hit.”

It’s honest, ranty, relatable, and full of the stuff people think but never say out loud.

  • Why young workers overestimate their skill level

  • The danger of giving authority to people who only want power

  • Reality of being a van driver vs. the fantasy

  • Inspectors with ego vs. inspectors with experience

  • Why actors complaining about long hours gets zero sympathy

  • My dream life: big impact, no fame

  • If I ever made one hit song — I’m out

Smarten up Canada

This one goes everywhere: busted microphones, jealous stares at million-dollar houses, and why people love hating anyone more successful than them. I get into the bad math politicians and media throw around, the truth about wealth resentment, and how the younger generation got handed an economy that makes homeownership feel like sci-fi. From there, it turns into a full breakdown of taxes, politics, and why voting with feelings instead of facts has backed us into a corner. It’s blunt, confrontational, and probably offensive to anyone who refuses to take responsibility for the mess we’re in.

Highlights

  • The “your mic’s on, dude” moment

  • Envy vs. resentment — and why most people confuse the two

  • The $500 million / $1 million-per-person math fail

  • Why today’s housing market would’ve crushed past generations

  • Rich people aren’t your enemy — your votes are

  • Liberal damage vs. conservative course correction

  • The uncomfortable truth about relying on the government

  • Fixing the country starts with owning the screw-up, not blaming success

Common Sense vs. Canada

I rant about people who stop in doorways (and Costco aisles), a 10-minute drive-thru purgatory at the wrong window, and street-blocking small talkers. Then we pivot to local and federal politics: why I started paying attention, why home ownership feels impossible, and why I think Canada needs common-sense fixes now. It’s blunt, fast, and very Calgary.

We’d All Be Fine (Kinda)

I riff on why a sudden, unstoppable end (like a nuclear strike) weirdly doesn’t scare me—because if we all go together, there’s nobody left to mourn. From there I talk about pain and “interesting experiences,” why honesty beats getting caught, how wives have a sixth sense, and why “anyways” isn’t a word. It’s raw, a little dark, and very straight-up.

Unread, Unsaid, Unnecessary

I go off about my #1 social pet peeve: people who never respond. If you’ve ever called, texted, voice-memo’d, and still gotten radio silence, this one’s for you. I talk phone etiquette (why even have a phone if you don’t use it?), why long text wars are a trap, and when a quick call saves everyone’s sanity. From there, I get into social battery management, honest boundaries with family, and how people-pleasing still sneaks up on me—even when I swear I don’t care. It’s blunt, a little petty, and very real.

Highlights

  • The “ghosted while you’re home” phenomenon

  • Text loops vs. one decisive phone call

  • Setting clean endings to conversations (without being a jerk)

  • Social energy, gossip fatigue, and saying “no” plainly

  • Honesty vs. rudeness, and why five minutes of truth beats months of weirdness

Stop Saying You’re Triggered: Part 2 (Overstimulated)

I pick up where I left off—this time taking on the word “overstimulated.” Do we really need a clinical label for “there’s too much going on,” or are we complicating what used to be simple? I unpack when that feeling is real, when it’s an excuse, and why plain language (“I’m overwhelmed”) helps more than buzzwords.

From there I zoom out: phones, social feeds, and even ChatGPT have rewired habits and expectations; we’ve become dependence-first, solutions-second. Then I wade into energy common sense—oil & gas vs. wind/solar, grid reality for EVs, and why nuclear deserves a serious look if we want reliable power without fantasy math. Through it all, the theme stays the same: simplify the words, face the work, and make choices that hold up outside of slogans.

Highlights

  • “Overstimulated” vs. “overwhelmed”: why the wording matters

  • Tech dependence and attention drain

  • Energy practicality: reliability, cost, and trade-offs

  • A plea for fewer labels, more accountability, and actual problem-solving

Stop Saying You're Triggered

“Triggered” gets tossed around like confetti—and it’s emptied the word of meaning. This episode digs into why that bugs me: not because people don’t have real pain, but because slapping “triggered” on every disagreement shuts down thought, conversation, and growth.

I talk through what counts as genuine harm vs. simple discomfort, why emotions still need steering, and how tough love and patient coaching can help (including with autism—acknowledging severity matters while still leaving room to try, teach, and adapt). If an opinion upsets you, say “that bothered me—and here’s why,” and let’s trade reasons. Debate is healthy. Labels aren’t arguments.

Key beats:

  • Words matter: overusing “triggered” makes it useless.

  • Disagreement ≠ attack; offense ≠ trauma.

  • Try first, adjust second—especially with kids who need structure.

  • Swap reactions for reasons: explain, don’t explode.

  • Respect stays; open minds win.
